Tracing the Tribe is a blog about Jewish genealogy - All the developments, tools and resources you'll need to peer more closely into your family tree. Created in 2006 at JTA's request, it is now independent.

09 January 2008

Some 30 national and international genealogists - a record number - will be speaking at the 39th Southern California Genealogical Society Jamboree set for June 27-29, 2008 in Burbank, CA.

The event has organized its own blog to keep everyone updated about the Jamboree.

I participated last year when some 1,000 area residents attended, making this one of the largest regional events and impressive in terms of both scope and excellent organization. The vendor room was packed and the technology center, offering free access to many subscription sites, was a popular destination.

In 2008, I'll be speaking again as part of a great group of people including gen-blogging colleagues and experts representing all aspects of genealogy and major websites.
